JULY 4th, 1935 Check Hunger March to Ottawa It was gratifying ta see the Toronto Globe. which cannot be accused of undue friendliness towards Premier R. B. Bennett. supporting the latter in his mave ta crush the hunger march to Ottawa. We are confident that the majority of these misgýuided men are loyal Canadians at heart, and men who have suffered mnuch through the depression. Such conditions are always ripe for the propaganda of the comimunist. who wvatches for every opportunity ta pull down constituted authority and demiocratie gov- ernment. They rjuite freely accuse Mr. Bennett. and aniyone else who apposes them. of beingý dictatorial. but they fail ta realize that the comimunistic doctrine is the maost dictatorial doctrine that the warld has ever seen. \Ve cannot see what purpose could be served by 2000 men marching ta Ottawa. The spakesmen who have already made the trip were rude. uncouth, and unreasonable in their interview with the Premier. He was humiliated by being called a "Ilar' and was told that he cared nothing for the welfare of the country. Whatever his faults. Premier Bennett has given of his utmost in the interest of Canada. He has worked tirelessly and long for this Dominion, resulting in a complete breakdown in health a few month, ago. He should not be subjected ta the prattlîng of dissatîsfied communists and the abuse of men wha are destructive instead of constructive. Their demands for 5kc per hour relief labor and non-contributory insurance against unemployment. are not reasanable. and their trek ta Ottawa in an effort ta force these demand.s shauld be checked. Catering to a Community Deniand A news itemi elaewherc in this issue records the fact that the Public Utilities Comission haý, in- stalled a bubbler a: the Creani of Barley Camp for use 0f the geneîal public making tise 0f this popular resort. This mas e saS made a: the re-:eated request of citizenis. We heaitiy approve of tbt, is ove. because this park has becoise the coinnumiit'y park. besicles be- ing an attraction ta tourists passîng thraugb. The tow,ýn awcs a debt of gratitude ta Mr. J. L. Morden. its proprietor. that wJ1ll bkely ney-r lie repaid. but ta him must came the keen satisfaction of baving accomplisbed somiethimir rýea'Uyý wor:bwhile for the cammunity in wbicb he has made his naine. There la oniy ane angle ta the question of this installation that ta debatable, and that is the in- stallation of a public convenience on a private pr- perty. It sets a precedence that imight prove dang- erou.sly embarrassing ta future Utîlities Commission,. but at the sanie tinie, it is daubtful whether any other praperty in the town wîll make a lîke deînand. or has as much right ta mnake such a dcîîand as this particular one. In amiy event it %vauld seaui that practically everyone in Bowmnanville uses the Park. and thus the ichale community stands ta benefit by the installation. The tact that citizens as a whole are behind the installation alîauld mean that from those who have ta meet thecor0in stalling the bubb:ei' and supplying the water. Lthere will be no repercussion as ta this miove. Why the Empty Pews ? The clergymen af Canada ar'e woî'îied about the falling off iii churcb attendance. They are becom- ing aiarmed as. week atter %veek, tbey preacb ta empty pews; and are urging the prohibition of Sun- day sports and recreatians, clasing of gasalîîe sta- tions on the fîrst day af the week. mare vigilance on the part of the Lrds Day Alliance. and other emer- gency measures ta help fuI the empty seats. They have reason for alarm. A study made of mare than a thausand churches in North America. over a period ai four years, reveals the tact that seventy per cent of the pews are empty. and that fi.ty-eigbt per cent of the members are daing nath- ing at ail ta heip support the churcb. Evcry thiskîig nian and woman sbauld be con- ccmned aver thîs situation. Why is there no more intere'st n tbe churcis and ils services? Why the disegard for tise Bible? Wby wvuld people rather attend a baIl gainse than go ta churcis? It is truly an atarrmng situation. Who is ta blaise for the enîpty pes?

Hasin*t he soie ground for his reasoning? England Muddles Through England miuddles through.' That«s an aid ex- pression in which there is littie truth. England gets through all right. but while its methods imay seem nmuddling and old fashioned. the resuits suggest somiething very fine in the type of men chosen to lead the country. Just the other day the cables reported that at the end of this year the unemployrnent relief f und in England would have a surplus of £20.000.000. This has been brought about by a great improvernient in conditions in the old land, and through their system of unemployment insurance to which the govern- ment. the wvorker and the employer ail contribute. There is an agitation on among radical elements in Canada to force the government ta give unem- ploymnent insurance on a non-contributory basis. That means that a man is automatically insured when hie is wvorking and immediately hie ceases ta wvork, through his own fanît or through business de- pression. lie iîmmediately gets government support. In the first place the system wauld be cetrimental ta the thrifty habits of the people. It would sniother thie desire ta Save and become independent of char- ity in turnes of stress. Ini England the worker has willîngly paid over the years. Should hie not need any relief, hie is en- titled to refuncis on his payments every few years. Now conditions are such that this huge sum la left as a sur-plus, and the government la cansidering a reduction in the unemploy ment insurance rates. England inay muddle through hier troubles, but there are many nations. including Canada. which wish they could mnuddle through .iust as successfully. When the Citizens Do Their Part One has heard so0 much af defaulting muniti alities. and defaulting debtars in recent years ti it is refreshing ta read an editorial fram the F( Erie Times-Reviewv. Which draws ta the attenti of its readers the niany modern impraveinentst town bas ta be thankful for. its sewers. its vat system. its paved streets. and ail other canvenieni It then goes an ta point out that ail these tbing-s cc maney and that the debenture debt of their tav is now in the neighbar-haod of anc and three-quart miillions of dollars.
